Showing a picture inside dialogs

[Muhahahahaaa]

hi me again :/


i managed to show icons of items inside of dialogItems (thx to Dr) but i cannot create a small version of it. means the dialogitem has to be about 200x200 to show the icon at all but i want it to be small size, about 50x50. is there any way to refactor this, any action i missed or anything...

native void     DialogControlSetSize (int control, playergroup players, int width, int height);

Hopefully this native is also available in GUI. What it should do is scale the control (the image) in size based on the values you give it.

the dialogItem label doesn't show the image below 200x200, but the image itself is just 76x76
another possibility would be to use another dialogitem----> image; i was using the label one because it has text as input.

the problem with the image dialogItem is that i cannot convert a string to a file. at least all attempts to do so failed. <img path"variable"/> as custom value doesnt work.


i found this on sc2mapster:

Convert String to File - Image Options: Function Return Type: File - Image Parameters IconPath = No File <File - Image> Grammar Text: Ability Icon(Ability) Hint Text: (None) Custom Script Code Local Variables Actions General - Return IconPath

i made this out of it:


Convert String to File - Image Options: Function Return Type: File - Image Parameters IconPath = No File <File - Image>
Input = "" <String>
Grammar Text: IconPath = Input Hint Text: (None) Custom Script Code Local Variables Actions General - Return IconPath



ok i solved this! param input string then return type string, action return input, THEN change the return type to file, so it will work

Um what?!

const int c_triggerControlPropertyImage                 = 4;        // string
const int c_triggerControlPropertyImageType             = 5;        // int
const int c_triggerControlPropertyBlendMode				= 30;       // int


const int c_triggerImageTypeNone                        = 0;
const int c_triggerImageTypeNormal                      = 1;
const int c_triggerImageTypeBorder                      = 2;
const int c_triggerImageTypeHorizontalBorder            = 3;
const int c_triggerImageTypeEndCap                      = 4;

const int c_triggerBlendModeNormal            = 0;  
const int c_triggerBlendModeMultiply          = 1;    
const int c_triggerBlendModeLighten           = 2;
const int c_triggerBlendModeDarken            = 3;    
const int c_triggerBlendModeAdd               = 4;
const int c_triggerBlendModeSubtract          = 5;    
const int c_triggerBlendModeAlpha             = 6;  

native void     DialogControlSetPropertyAsString (int control, int property, playergroup players, string value);
native void     DialogControlSetPropertyAsInt (int control, int property, playergroup players, int value);

But the image path is a string.... What on earth are you talking about?

Additionally you can use the...

native text     StringToText (string s);

native to convert any string to text. This is obviously unlocalized text.

i made a custom function "Convert" which returns a file - image having a string as input. to accomplish this i made a function which simply returns the input string. THEN just change the return type to file - image and a function is done which takes a string and gives back a file -image.
